Facebook knows who you are even if you're not showing your face. Using artificial intelligence (just to make things extra dystopian), Facebook can identify and tag you by things like the way you stand, the type of clothing you wear, and your hair.

Facebook isn't putting the algorithm into practice yet, but its mere existence is worrisome to many, including the Electronic Frontier Foundation and the various people who have filed lawsuits over the years.

But Facebook isn't the only tech giant that's interested in your face. Google recently introduced Google Photos, which automatically sorts photos and videos based on their content. It even has the capability to recognize your child self from photos of you as an adult.
